I was going to make a Fast Fourier Transform joke. Guess I wasn't Fast enough...
I took Musical Computing in college, which I really enjoyed. I should go back and reread the copious notes I took. We worked on NeXT machines & used C to program the freaky stuff we did with the music samples. Gotta say, it is pretty cool to filter the sound of breaking glass through various transforming algorithms and listen to the result. &:D
The class I'm taking right now is a general survey of digital recording (sampling rates and resolution), synthesizer components (oscillators, filters, etc), and MIDI communication. At least so far.
It doesn't go as in-depth on some of these topics as I might prefer, but I'm still learning a ton I didn't know before. And knowing this stuff opens the door to a lot of other neat courses.
Here's something that was recommended to me for low-level sound modification: Max/MSP by Cycling '74 (http://www.cycling74.com/products/maxmsp)

Crap.

NeXT machines... wow, am I dating myself, huh?
